High-resolution continuous microbiological samplers

This grant to Harvard University, Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology will fund the expansion of OsmoSampler technology to produce BioOsmoSamplers (BOSS) capable of acquiring samples from Ocean Drilling Project ("ODP") boreholes for a suite of shore-based microbial analyses. These biological osmosamplers will allow scientists to access deep ocean samples, useful for a variety of analyses, at a low cost and reliable means, with ease of service and deployment, and no need for electrical power.
